FAQs
Menopausal Hormone Therapy is the use of estrogen, often combined with progesterone if you still have a uterus, to replace the hormones that decline during menopause. It helps manage symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness.
Menopausal Hormone Therapy can reduce hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, vaginal dryness or pain, and can slow bone loss that leads to osteoporosis.
Generally, Menopausal Hormone Therapy is most beneficial and carries the lowest risk when started before age 60 or within 10 years of your final menstrual period. Starting later can still be considered, but only after a careful evaluation of your heart and bone health with your healthcare provider.
Healthy women with moderate to severe menopausal symptoms and no contraindications (such as a history of breast cancer, active liver disease, or blood-clot disorders) may be candidates. A thorough medical assessment is essential.
Yes. Starting Menopausal Hormone Therapy early may help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis fractures. Some evidence shows it may also lower the risk of heart disease when begun near the onset of menopause.
Risks depend on age, type, and duration of therapy, but can include blood clots, stroke, and (for some regimens) a slight increase in breast cancer risk. Your provider can tailor therapy to minimize these risks.
There is no single timeline. Many women use the lowest effective dose for the shortest period that relieves symptoms, with annual reassessments.
Weight-Loss Services and Semaglutide
Clinical trials show that people using Semaglutide alongside a balanced diet and activity typically lose 10–15% of their starting body weight over about 6–12 months. Individual results vary.
Yes. Large studies, including the SELECT trial, show Semaglutide can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in people with overweight or obesity and heart disease.
Absolutely. Semaglutide works best with a personalized nutrition plan, regular physical activity, and regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust dosing.
Sermorelin Therapy FAQ
Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that stimulates your pituitary gland to release more of your own growth hormone (GH). It is not growth hormone itself.
Possible benefits include improved sleep quality, increased lean muscle mass, reduced body fat, better recovery from exercise, and support for healthy metabolism.
Usually by a small subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection at bedtime to mimic the body’s natural nighttime GH release.
When prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional, Sermorelin is generally well tolerated. Mild side effects may include injection-site irritation, headache, or temporary flushing.
People with active cancer, uncontrolled diabetes, or certain pituitary disorders should not use Sermorelin unless cleared by a specialist.
Lipotropic (“Lipo”) Shots FAQ
These shots combine nutrients, commonly vitamin B12, methionine, inositol, and choline, that help the liver process fat and support metabolis
Lipo/skinny therapy, also known as lipotropic injections, can help with weight loss by boosting metabolism, increasing energy levels, and aiding in the breakdown of fat cells. It can also improve liver function and detoxification.
By supporting liver function and fat metabolism, lipo shots may boost energy, aid mild fat breakdown, and complement a healthy diet and exercise program.
Typically, once or twice a week, but frequency can be customized by your provider.
Most people tolerate them well. Rarely, mild discomfort at the injection site or brief digestive upset may occur.
NAD⁺ Therapy FAQ
NAD⁺ is a coenzyme found in every cell, crucial for energy production, DNA repair, and healthy aging.
NAD+ therapy can help with anti-aging by promoting cellular repair and regeneration. It can also improve cognitive function, increase energy levels, and enhance overall wellness.
Reported benefits include enhanced cellular energy, improved mental clarity, support for healthy aging, and potential assistance with recovery from fatigue or stress.
Usually as an intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular injection under medical supervision.
Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary flushing, headache, or lightheadedness during infusion.
- Sermorelin: Gradual changes over 3–6 months.
- Lipotropic shots: Energy boost can be felt in days; fat-loss support varies.
- NAD⁺: Some feel mental clarity or energy within hours to days.
- Sermorelin: Approved for growth-hormone deficiency in children; adult use is “off-label.”
- Lipotropic shots & NAD⁺ infusions: Use as wellness therapies is not FDA-approved, but they contain nutrients generally recognized as safe.
Yes. Baseline labs and medical screening help ensure safety and track progress.
